"I started this company with first-hand knowledge of the resources required of CE program staff to find, vet and train reviewers, disseminate content, continually follow up while stressing over deadlines, and elicit meaningful actionable feedback.
We built an efficient and cost effective solution for mitigating commercial influence and documenting regulatory compliance that consistently produces quality peer review feedback you can count on--on time and on budget."
I look forward to working with you!"

"I love what I do! Everyday I have the opportunity to help our partners find solutions to challenges they are facing with peer review deadlines and budgets. Having sat in a similar chair at one time, I just want to make their job easier.
It makes my day to hear their relief when they receive the feedback they need when (or before!) they need it...and then knowing they trust us to deliver."

"This is a critical time in the evolution of Continuing Medical Education, with the rapid introduction of new technologies and treatment modalities which have major influence on clinical practice. More than ever, healthcare professionals must depend on the information they receive to be evidence-based, relevant to clinical practice and independent of commercial influence. The independent third-party review provided by CE Peer Review validates the educational integrity of CE content and insures relevance to providing quality patient care."
